Between Coups and Consolidation

Military Rebellion in Argentina

For those struggling with contradictions between organized religion and their personal beliefs, this testament to living an intimately unique brand of Catholicism will be welcome reading. &#8212;Margaret Flanagan, Booklist"The vagaries of faith . . . reside at the heart of Nancy Mairs's A Dynamic God. [The book] owes its power to Mairs's sensitivity, her attention to detail, her honesty about herself. A stunning collection." &#8212;David Ulin, Los Angeles Times"An eloquent and witty account of a spiritual quest to find the holy within and without. It suggests a way back to the sacred for Catholics of all varieties." &#8212;Margaret Regan, Tucson Weekly"Mairs is an extraordinary woman. The acclaimed author of the spiritual autobiography Ordinary Time suffers from multiple sclerosis, yet is able to write with passion about a God that others in her position would have walked away from a long time ago . . . Her self-deprecating humor is wonderful-much like the writing of Anne Lamott, although Mairs manages to create her own style." &#8212;Publishers Weekly"Early in the book, the author states that her intent is to throw wide the door for the Holy One to enter. She has done that and much more." &#8212;Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice

Praise for the Alien series:&ldquo;Gini Koch's Alien books&#160;remind us why we read: it's fun!&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus&#160;&ldquo;A series that shows&#160;no signs of slowing down.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly"Aliens, danger, and romance make this&#160;a fast-paced, wittily written sf romantic comedy." &mdash;Library Journal"For those craving futuristic high-jinks and gripping adventure,&#160;Koch is an absolute master!&rdquo; &mdash;RT Reviews"This&#160;delightful romp&#160;has many interesting twists and turns as it glances at racism, politics, and religion en route. It will have fanciers of cinematic sf parodies referencing&#160;Men in Black,&#160;Ghost Busters, and&#160;X-Men." &mdash;Booklist&#160;"Gini Koch has created a monster with the Katherine &lsquo;Kitty&rsquo; Katt&#160;series that continues to grow.&rdquo; &mdash;Gizmo&rsquo;s Reviews"Twelve books into the Katherine 'Kitty' Katt series and Gini Koch is still able to deliver a&#160;fast-paced, action-packed thrill ride&#160;that stays true to what faithful readers love about the series but still manages to throw in some unexpected twists and turns." &mdash;Under the Covers&#160;

&ldquo;Greene expertly constructs the narrative of events during the shooting and through the federal trial of the officers involved, who received sentences of up to 65 years. . . .A poignant and skillful examination of a case that adds to the ongoing public debate about corrupt police practices, the militarization of local law enforcement, and convoluted legal decisions.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Compelling and necessary. Meticulously researched, compulsively readable.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Review of Books&ldquo;This engrossing tale is shockingly reminiscent of more recent examples of police misconduct  and should appeal to civic-minded readers in New Orleans and elsewhere.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;Shots on the Bridge is a poignant excavation of this case...a harrowingly taut 228-page book that bracingly covers what happened before, during, and after the shooting.&rdquo;&mdash;Johns Hopkins Magazine&ldquo;As the issue of police brutality continues to dominate much of the national discourse, Greene&rsquo;s timely book reminds readers that due process for killer cops can mean more than the lives of dead victims.&rdquo;&mdash;The Intercept&ldquo;For those who believe that police shootings of unarmed citizens began in Ferguson, Missouri, this book will be eye-opening. Greene offers a fine dissection of a tragic injustice and the understandable&mdash;and often unacknowledged&mdash;fears of police which underlie so many of these events.&rdquo;&mdash;Scott Turow&ldquo;Ronnie Greene has penetrated the blue code and brought light to one of the horrific cases of police misconduct in modern US history, and the victims' families' passionate and unyielding pursuit for justice in the aftermath of the tragedy of Katrina. His book is a must-read for those who seek reforms today to make urban policing more just and fair.&rdquo;&mdash;Marc H. Morial, president and CEO, National Urban League&ldquo;For everyone who wonders how police officers could inflict deadly violence on the people they are paid to protect, Ronnie Greene has pieced together, in meticulous detail, this epic case study: a tragedy of errors, fears, and lies that cannot be ignored.&rdquo;&mdash;Amanda Ripley, author of The Smartest Kids in the World and The Unthinkable

"This is an easy-to-read work with engaging stories that do not damage its academic rigor. It provides us a window into understanding current Vietnamese society, gender relations, and daily family life. I learned a lot from this book regarding cultural practices and I trust that readers will also find many parts of this work very useful in their research into gender, labour, or migration." - Hong-zen Wang, Pacific Affairs: Volume 89, No. 3 – September 2016
"This is but one of the many striking insights Nguyen presents in her study, which I regard as a significant contribution to the anthropology of Vietnam, as well as to the global literature on migration and social reproduction. As studies of domestic work elsewhere have shown, maids frequently act as a catalyst for anxieties around status, class boundaries and gender roles in contexts of rapid social change. Nguyen’s work offers us a fascinating insider account of how these contradictions play out in both familiar and unique ways in the Vietnamese context." - ASHLEY CARRUTHERS, Australian National University, The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology

&ldquo;A heartfelt coming-out story as well as an eloquent elegy to a rural way of life that is rapidly vanishing from the American landscape.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Booklist &#160; &ldquo;In&#160;Prairie Silence,&#160;Melanie Hoffert&#160;shows&#160;how&#160;the landscapes of our&#160;childhood continue to speak to us, and through us, long after we&rsquo;ve left&#160;them&#160;behind. In this&#160;beautifully written and&#160;deeply imagined memoir, Hoffert invites us back to her North Dakota farming community for a season of harvest,&#160;a personal journey of profound&#160;courage&#160;and grace.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Judy Blunt, author of Breaking Clean &#160; &ldquo;Hoffert&rsquo;s bittersweet and compelling memoir recalls her struggles at ending her silence and creating a fuller life for herself. She illuminates the quiet grace of the people and land she loves and mourns the passing of a way of life.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune &#160; &ldquo;The quiet, lyric prose of Melanie Hoffert&rsquo;s Prairie Silence crept into my days, making it impossible for me to stop turning pages. This book is about looking for oneself in places we are so often afraid to venture. A beautiful debut from a brave new writer.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Claire Bidwell Smith, author of The Rules of Inheritance &#160; &ldquo;This is a gorgeous book that evokes quiet country mornings and loud self-examination. . . . If you once believed that you can&rsquo;t truly ever go home again, Prairie Silence is a book you&rsquo;ll be eager to read.&rdquo;&#160;&ndash;Washington Blade &#160; &ldquo;A heartfelt love song to a place and its people as well as an honest and rewarding rendering of the author&rsquo;s interior landscape.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &#160; &ldquo;Hoffert&rsquo;s intimate memoir of place reveals a personal journey both fraught and wondrous, and a present reality of surprising richness.&rdquo; &mdash;Patricia Weaver Francisco, author of Telling

Winner of the 2004 Elle Readers&#8217; Prize for Best Book of the Year in Nonfiction&#8220;Hakakian&#8217;s intimate anthropology opens a window on one life during turbulent times in the Middle East. . . . This book does us the service of removing some of the region&#8217;s mythical stereotypes . . . and illuminating a real contemporary culture we would do well to know better.&#8221; &#8212;Seattle Times&#8220;Hakakian, irrepressible, brave, and strong-willed, watches in dismay as the country she loves disappears, to be replaced by one that views what Roya most values&#8212;an insatiable intellect&#8212;with profound contempt. Like Anne Frank, she is a perceptive, idealistic, terribly sympathetic chronicler of the gathering repression.&#8221; &#8212;Baltimore Sun&#8220;A spectacular debut memoir . . . Only a major writing talent like Hakakian can use the pointed words of the mature mind to give the perspective of the child. . . . She tackles ideologies of assimilation and oppression with poetic aplomb and precision. . . . Hakakian&#8217;s tale of passage into womanhood lacks nothing.&#8221; &#8212;Boston Globe&#8220;[Hakakian is] a lyrical storyteller . . . Her moving narrative swings from funny to sad, capturing idyllic scenes of her parents, aunts, and uncles picnicking and interacting with Muslim friends.&#8221; &#8212;Washington Post

A Girlhood Caught in Revolutionary Iran

Journey from the Land of No

&ldquo;Twenty-First-Century Jim Crow Schools is both a social autopsy of catastrophic and fraudulent charter school initiatives in three American cities and a helpful guidebook for those of us engaged in the gathering struggle to save our public schools. It&rsquo;s a torch against the darkness, an antidote to cynicism and despair, and a map to move the movement forward. With this little book the forces determined to destroy public education&mdash;with mobilized campaigns to disinvest and destabilize, displace and disenfranchise&mdash;have met a formidable opponent. As participatory democracy is repeatedly assailed, as the public space is systematically eroded and eclipsed, and as the very concept of something we might call a &lsquo;public&rsquo; is flogged by the powerful in favor of ruthless meritocracy and fanatical individualism, we who believe in freedom must rise up, reimagine, and revitalize the public square. Raynard Sanders, David Stovall, and Terrenda White have given us an essential tool in the fight ahead.&rdquo;&mdash;William Ayers, coauthor of &ldquo;You Can&rsquo;t Fire the Bad Ones!&rdquo;: And 18 Other Myths About Teachers, Teachers&rsquo; Unions, and Public Education&ldquo;Excellent, cogent arguments against the corporatization of the charter school movement, which started as a way to have community- and teacher-led schools that served the needs of poor black and brown children . . . demonstrat[ing] how the original intent has been usurped by a greedy, oligarchical class intent on tapping into the $600 billion in taxpayer funds that should be used for spending on public schools.&rdquo;&mdash;Karen Lewis
